Abstract
The optimization of image resolution for digital holographic scanning imaging of biological cells is investigated. Digital holographic scanning imaging experiments on the upper epidermal cells of onions are performed to demonstrate the validity of resolution optimization algorithm. In the experiments, the holograms of the upper epidermal cells of onion are recorded at a certain scanning rate, and then are processed by using the resolution optimization algorithm. As a result, the phase images of the onion epidermal cells with higher contrast and resolution are obtained. According to the synthetic holograms, the changes of cell nucleus and actin microfilament inside onion’s epidermal cells are displayed. In addition, the dehydration process and plasmolysis phenomenon inside onion epidermal cells are also exhibited by recording longterm scanning holograms of living epidermal cells. The experimental results demonstrate that image quality of living onion epidermal cells can be improved by optimizing the algorithms.
